When you use the laws of physics to describe the bumping and jostling of the rock’s molecules, you’re done. But when you use the very same laws of physics to describe the bumping and jostling of rabbit molecules, you are not done. Not by a long shot. Overlaid on the reductionist story is a whole additional story that tells of the rabbit’s unique internal molecular arrangements that choreograph an exquisite spectrum of organized molecular motions. And it is these molecular motions which carry out higher-level processes within the rabbit’s cells.
